Healy links up with Sanchez again

Northern Ireland international David Healy has been reunited with former international manager Lawrie Sanchez after he was signed by Fulham from Leeds.

The 27-year-old striker - scorer of 29 goals in 59 appearances for his country - has signed a four-year deal with the Londoners.

Healy said: "Obviously I know Lawrie Sanchez well and through his time as manager of Northern Ireland he has given me a lot of support, so I'm really looking forward to playing under him in the Premiership."

Healy added: "It was a disappointing end to my time at Leeds with the club being relegated and I wish them well for the future."

Sanchez told the club's website: "My interest in signing David Healy has been well documented in recent months and I am delighted that he has signed for the club today.

"David has showcased his striking pedigree at the highest level with Northern Ireland in recent years, and I have every confidence that he will replicate the same form for Fulham in the Premiership.

"The signing of David Healy follows the addition of Diomansy Kamara and I am pleased with the quality in attack that will be at my disposal next season."
